My sourdough starter exploded all over my kitchen at 3am

I left it on the counter overnight in Phoenix during that heatwave and the jar lid popped clean off, dough on the ceiling and walls. Spent two hours scrubbing every surface with vinegar water, now I keep it in the fridge with a loose cap always. Anyone else had a starter blow up on them like this?

Used to keep mine on the counter all the time, never thought twice about it... then I came home to a crusty mess on the ceiling fan. Now it's fridge life with a lid that's barely screwed on, learned that lesson the hard way too.
